19061  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: can satoshi kill bitcoin? on: December 17, 2013, 11:07:14 AM
why should he do it? he probably does not need that kind of money...

If he is ideologically motivated..... then may be...

Maybe he forgot his password. Probably why the coins have never moved Cheesy.

If that's the case, then even less BTCs are in circulation and the value of BTC increases further!


Probably be a good idea if the coins never get spent or our put into circulation. Dumping those coins all at once could put Bitcoin back to where it started from, but maybe people might see that as fair for everyone else, not so much people who have paid a lot of money for the coins though ahaha
19062  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to create new crypto currency and is it worth the effort??? on: December 17, 2013, 11:03:49 AM
Hey all,

I have been watching these new crypto market and it seems new cryptocoins are coming back to life like Diamond (DMD), and other are poping up like cherries almost everyday. I understand that people want to get into this new "mania" and profit for a short term or for the long run if the coin pleases the public!

So my question is how easy is to just create a website with a pretty frontpage / home and some links to download wallets, sources, forums, mining pools, some backing up partner to promote the coin and etc.?

Is it worth the effort? It can be, but do we really need a new coin? Just look at them all: http://www.wheretomine.com/. Unless you can think of a unique idea for a coin, I really don't think any more are needed. A lot of coins fail because they put little to no effort or development behind them. Coins need communities and merchants willing to accept them, otherwise they just fizzle out.

Newbie readme, bold, sticky...read! Are you just lazy or something?


Yes, you got me. A total waste of space. So how many posts is it?

To become a member you need 15 activity.

Activity is calculated:

Quote
The activity number is determined in this way:
time = number of two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration
activity = min(time * 14, posts)

Activity is updated every 30 minutes.

Hmmmm takes a long tome to become a member....

Not that long, you've just got to patiently bide your time / put in a bit of work and then it's worth it. I'm down to less than a minute posting time now. the 360 second rule is tedious and annoying though, but it's there for a reason.
19065  Other / Meta / Re: New UK board request on: December 17, 2013, 10:51:10 AM
Much as it grieves me to hold ebay up as a model, but if I want something from ebay I go to ebay.co.uk first, only if I can't find it do I look in ebay.com.
It's a simple request, why would anyone resist it?

This isn't ebay. There are ebay-like Bitcoin markets though. I'm from the UK and usually just put UK in the title if it fits, but I ship most stuff worldwide. If we have a board for UK-ers, then I'm sure all other countries will want their own and so on.

Why not installing a good automaticDouble Account Detection, eg. one Flash-Cookie-based? It would detect 95% of these idiots, because they don't know about Flash Cookies.

Having multiple accounts isn't disallowed.

Had to pay for a book I rented earlier cuz it was damaged.
Got an 5 on a final in one of my classes.
Lost $70 in bitcoins on accident.

Pretty shit day so far.

Where did you rent the book?  I work for a rental company, maybe I can help

Probably the library.
19068  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: All this mining is ultimately meaningless on: December 17, 2013, 10:38:41 AM
99% of alt-coins will never be used to buy anything.

They're used for trading for other alts and that's all most of these coins are currently used for at the moment. I was surprised that Sexcoin has actually got some merchants to accept it, so some of them to become worth something, and that's what people are banking on.

are you sure it's stupidity? you could just make this shit up and sell your story to some media outlet. so many ways a playa can play the game.

Something tells me this guy isn't a master of chicanery.




But then again:

Another conspiracy? Great! We surely did not have enough of those on btctalk!
But I tend to agree. I had tons of quasi-important stuff to share with the media in my life, but they ignored me.
But stories like that go viral.
Do you simply call some newspaper and say "I'm a dumb fuck, exploit my life story" and they say "okay, we sure have nothing else to do" ?

Another similar story is the guy who allegedly threw his hard-drive with his bitcoins he'd mined a couple of years ago in the trash. There was no evidence that he had even minded the coins apart from his story and the media was having a field day with it.

EDIT: in that pic he reminds me of Jean Reno from Leon/Professional

I didn't see it before, but he kinda does.
19070  Other / Meta / Re: Petition: disable 'self-moderation' on: December 17, 2013, 10:30:57 AM
Self-moderation seems especially bad in the altcoin section. A new coin maker can delete all the criticism of their coin and in the worst possible case delete people warning of a virus in the code during the coin release rush.

Yeah, it shouldn't be allowed in forums like this for sure. On a whole I'd say self-moderation isn't a good idea and is abused more than not.
19071  Other / Off-topic / Re: Amazon drones, lol on: December 17, 2013, 10:30:00 AM
This drone situation is compounded by the fact that drugs are coming over the border via drones, now.  How long till one of these cartels (probably the Sinaloa cartel) dress up a drone with an Amazon banner?  It's not a stretch, they already operate fully-submersible subs. 

I'm sure I read an article somewhere that drugs cartels had already tried or are doing this over the boarder. It's briefly mentioned here: http://newstalk870.am/mexican-drug-cartels-using-drones-to-scout-border-crossings/

Not sure how much drugs those tiny Amazon drones could carry though.
19072  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Blacklist for scammers buying bitcoin and litecoin on Ebay with paypal on: December 17, 2013, 10:20:29 AM
Some of us are legit ebay sellers with long positive sales histories...
And selling on ebay is our only job because we want to be self employed and not be someone elses b!&*#.

You can always sell on here or on localbitcoins, but obviously you're not going to get the inflated premium prices people pay on ebay. Yeah, ebay/paypal needs to get their act together and change their system, but until they do the risk of being scammed is the risk you take.
19073  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This girl is really dedicated to bitcoin... on: December 17, 2013, 10:15:27 AM
Maybe i have too much faith in the bitcoin forum, but i honestly expected better. Im betting the better members just havnt commented and weve so far manager to drum up the sludge from the bottom of the bucket, Well done sludge.

(sludge, you know who you are)

What do you expect when a picture of a half-naked woman gets posted on an internet message board? The virgins get jealous and call her a slut and the pervs get pervy. Any 'respectable' members will probably just stay away... or at least just quietly jack off to themselves.
19074  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Oops - 20BTC fee paid on .05 transaction? on: December 17, 2013, 10:12:52 AM
I keep telling you - divide your bitcoins across different services/exchanges/wallets and you will be spared these dumb mistakes

Or just double check you don't send a 20BTC transaction fee.
19075  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will I be able to use Bitcoins at the mall in 2014??? on: December 16, 2013, 09:59:20 PM
I hope we get some Bitcoin ATM machines here in the uk next year. That would really help promotion and legitimise it with the public.


I'm hoping for this also. I haven't heard any definite plans for any, but surely a few must pop up in 2014.

Does anyone know where you buy them from?

https://lamassu.is/


 $5,000 each for the lamassu ones.

I've heard this one only works one way Does it let you sell them or buy them? And can you buy them with bitcoins

I've no idea. Check the website or email them.

call the police!!!

I think the problem with this idea is that OP has a conscience otherwise he would have surely done this already.

Calling the fuzz is a last resort and is unnecessary unless he doesn’t heed my polite request.

is that what brits call the police? is that what hot fuzz was supposed to mean?

You can always ask him, you'd be surprised how well it can work out.

Then there's your landlord to go to.

We own the house and his grandparents own theirs.

That hurts.

I do not know the specifics of the payout protocol of P2Ppool, but couldn't they simply send him the coins back in a great display of altruism?

The fee was distributed among 399 miners, would be difficult to contact all of them:
https://blockchain.info/tx/3178271edbc74f77eb507415e130d7ddd72cd2bb1f6817a2a4101c9d9c51e90c

Difficult but not impossible.  Real altruism takes effort.

Some miners have given back mistakenly sent fees before I think. Maybe he can get some coins back.
